Brandon Having His First Hair Cut

"Somebody help me... please!!"

The GQ look

It has been rather warm lately and we decided that Brandon should have his hair cut since he perspire quite a lot. Actually, he's been scratching his hair as well.

Well, he was pretty good and cooperated with the hair-dresser. He looks more boyish now... not that he didn't before.

Isn't Brandon cute? Hey's wait a minute - that's Yoko...!!Can you see the resemblance...?? Don't you think Brandon looks like Mommy...? (I hope mommy doesn't mind daddy picking this particular picture for the blog)

Lantern Festival @ Chinese Garden



We went to Chinese Garden today - and this year's latern display was a great disappointment. They had better ones in the past. Each entry came with a free lantern - look at the type of lantern they gave (sigh...). Even Ashley thought that this one of the worst lantern festival she has been to. Anyway, this was Jiji and Satoshin's first visit.

Ashley Needs Glasses

Ashley had health check in school last week. She came home and told us that she needs glasses. We took her to an optician on Saturday and was told that she should have started wearing 6 months ago. (Rt: 200 degrees, Lt: 150 degrees).

"Nice To Meet You..."

Jiji meeting Satochin (a.k.a Brandon) for the 1st time. Jiji will be here till Wed (Sept 19). Unfortunately, Baba who was planning to be here with Jiji couldn't make it - she got Ménière’s disease the night before departure. We hear she's feeling better today - she was able to have some grapes and okayu (porridge).

Today Was A Tiring Day


Ashley's day started early today - she has to take her grade 1 piano exam. She was pretty nervous - her eyes were slightly red & face blushed. After about 12 minutes of so, it was all over and she said it was OK.

Look at Ashley - she's been wanting to sit in the stroller for a long time. We gave in to her today (but just this once) since she work up early today.

Isn't Brandon adorable... even when he's asleep...??

Brandon & Apple Juice



Brandon is 4-months old and mommy is starting Brandon on juices. Today, Brandon had apple juice. Did he like it - well, see for yourself. ;-)
